OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program, or VPP, was created in 1982 to recognize and partner with businesses and worksites that demonstrate excellence in occupational safety and health, with systems that effectively prevent workplace injuries and illnesses above and beyond the industry norm. R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, an industry leader in rigging, demolition, dismantling, and plant decommissioning, has been directly involved in nearly a dozen VPP projects earning the coveted STAR status, the highest rating level awarded by OSHA, as well as many VPP MERIT projects.

According to OSHA, the average VPP construction worksite has a lost workday incidence rate that is more than 50 percent lower than the national average. Participants must meet stringent healthy and safety criteria, and worksites must undergo a rigorous evaluation by a team of OSHA experts to received VPP certification. Of the firms that qualify, only a select few “best-of-the-best” sites achieve the highly-demanding STAR status, with the great majority receiving a MERIT designation.

Our frequent participation on VPP STAR construction projects demonstrates our clients’ recognition of R. Baker & Son’s firm dedication to the exceeding the highest health and safety standards in our industry. We are proud to partner with VPP STAR firms that share in our level of commitment to maintaining the safest, cleanest work environments possible.
